Ojha has been granted permission by the BCCI to play for English county Surrey and his debut for Surrey against Northamptonshire on 15 August.

Ojha said "With not much cricket around for me at the moment, I thought it would be best if I could utilise the time by playing some county cricket in England.It will be a huge challenge for me to play on pitches in England that are not spinner-friendly. I am really looking forward to gaining experience in those conditions"
